Urgent Help for Jayla and Tiara's Safety
Donation protected
Hello! Our names are Jayla and Tiara, and we have been living in an abusive house for a while. Tiara was living with her mother in Houston before her friends invited her to move in with them. Given the pretense that they would end up taking over the house, she moved in. But because her friend's stepdad was a convicted felon, her friend's parents couldn't move out. After meeting Jayla, she was invited to move in as well, which is when everything began to get a bit worse. He would verbally harass his wife and everyone else in the house. He would also be rough with their things and act as if this house was all his despite not being able to be on the lease as he was a felon.
This has gone on for months.
Eventually, as the lease on the house is ending, everyone was beginning to figure out where to go. Until he freaked out the other day and started threatening our lives.
We do not feel safe around this man.
He has threatened to shoot and kill us if we do not leave.
Normally, we are people who believe in doing everything by ourselves, but this has begun to be a really scary situation. We are scared we will either be killed or end up being homeless.
Please help us move back to Houston so we can be with our families. He has made very psychotic remarks towards us to the point where we are having to leave out the windows to come in and out of our home.
We are both queer Black women who have fought for everything in this life. And while doing a GoFundMe is a bit hard, we would really appreciate it if we can get a bit of help. Thank you so much for reading this, and if not able to help, we would really appreciate it if you could help share. We will continue updating as things continue to escalate.
